Definition at line 59 of file qgsvectordataprovider.cpp.
|
virtual |
Returns any literal default values which are present at the provider for a specified field index.
Important - this should ONLY be called when creating an attribute to insert directly into the database. Do not call this method for non-feature creation or modification, e.g., when validating an attribute or to compare it against an existing value, as calling it can cause changes to the underlying data source (e.g., Postgres provider where the default value is calculated as a result of a sequence). It is recommended that you instead use the methods in QgsVectorLayerUtils such as QgsVectorLayerUtils::createFeature() so that default value handling and validation is automatically carried out.
Definition at line 115 of file qgsvectordataprovider.cpp.
|
virtual |
Returns any default value clauses which are present at the provider for a specified field index.
These clauses are usually SQL fragments which must be evaluated by the provider, e.g., sequence values.

|
overridepure virtual |
Number of features in the layer.
Implements QgsFeatureSource.
|
pure virtual |
Return feature source object that can be used for querying provider's data.
The returned feature source is independent from provider - any changes to provider's state (e.g. change of subset string) will not be reflected in the feature source, therefore it can be safely used for processing in background without having to care about possible changes within provider that may happen concurrently. Also, even in the case of provider being deleted, any feature source obtained from the provider will be kept alive and working (they are independent and owned by the caller).
Sometimes there are cases when some data needs to be shared between vector data provider and its feature source. In such cases, the implementation must ensure that the data is not susceptible to run condition. For example, if it is possible that both feature source and provider may need reading/writing to some shared data at the same time, some synchronization mechanisms must be used (e.g. mutexes) to prevent data corruption.

Returns the extent of all geometries from the source.
The base class implementation uses a non-optimised approach of looping through all features in the source.
Reimplemented from QgsFeatureSource.
